The last issue of the Home World jus issued has the following in reminiscence O old Cheshire:
 Where MT. Seth Calhoun now lives is tht place built up by the Rev. John Foote. Hi son. the Governor, and family lived there later. It was the place to which Admiral A H. Foote came 50 much in his boyhood. The Rev. Mir. Foote's first wife was the daughter of Rev. MT. Hall. His second wife was the widow of Levi Royce. He was uncle to Major Royce. Both Rev. and Mrs. Foote loved the pipe, sitting and smoking together, thing then not considered out of place. When he first took his wife to see her uncle Royce he said: 1T have brought my wife over in a carriage, but I rather think she will have to go home "a Foote.'"
 One son of the Reverend was Samuel Augustus Foote. He was in the United States Senate from 1927 to 1885, He is known in the political history of our country as the mover of "Foote's Resolutions" 1" which gave occasion for the famous debate between Webster and Hayne. This Foote was Governor of Connecticut from 1884 to 1885. He married General Andrew Hull's daughter Eudoeia. They were the parents of Admiral Andrew Hull Foote. Andrew was lively robust boy in family of boys. While wee lad he was one day leading his younger brother Augustus across meadow where was large merino ram.
 
 who charged upon him. Andrew put him self in the way and received the shock. This he did several times until he could get to the fence and out of the way. 'This," says the brother who tells the story, 'fwas the ad- mirals first ram fight"
 Gideon Wells was classmate of Foote's at the Chester academy, and there commenced the friendship that enabled them to act to- gether in the war.
 When Foote was quite lad he went one winters day into shoemaker's shop and left the door open behind him. One of the work men ordered him to shut the door. Andrew thought the tone too harsh and refused to obey unless asked civilly. The workman, growing angry, told him if he did not close the door he would thrash him: and at once the ire of the growing warrior was up, and Crispin was laid helpless across his own bench. The old master, who had watched the affair oyer his spectacles, cried out, tBravo bravol Well done, ladr' He is said to have been stuttering, stammering, left-handed little boy. A cot was fitted tightly over his left hand, and he was re- quired to use only his right. When he com- speaking he was admonished to speak slowly, and to beat time with his right hand. He early became a Christian, and with brother and other young men would often go out into the school houses of the town to attend religious meetings.

Our Little GrandchiId. Cleansed, Purified and Beautihed by the CutIcura Remedies.

It affords me pleasure to give you this report oi the cure of our little grandchild by your CUTICURL REMEDIES. When six months old his left hand be gan to swell and had every appearance of a large boil. We poulticed it, but all to purpose. Abou five months after it became a running sore. Soor each hand and as his blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the under lip which was very offensive. His head was one solid scab discharging great deal. This was his condition at twenty two months old when undertook the care Of him, his mother having died when he little more than year old of consumption (scrofula of course) He could walk little, but could not get up if he fell down and could not move when in bed having no use of his hands, I immediately com nenced with the Cuticura Remedies, using the Cutfcura and Cuticura Soap freely and when he had taken one bottle of the Cuticura ResoIvent his head was completely cured and he was improved in every way. We were very much encouraged and con tlnued the use Of the Remedies for year and half One sore after another healed, a bonV matter forming in each one of these five deep just be- Tore healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After ly cured, and is now, at the age of six years, a strong and healthy child. The scars on his hands must always remain; his hands are strong though we once feared he would never be able to use them All that physicians did for him did him no good All who saw the child before using the Cuticura Reme- dies and see the child now consider it a wonderful cure. If the above facts of any use to you you May 8, 1885. 612 E. Clay St., Bloomington, H.
 The child was really in worse condition than he appeared to his grandmother, who, being with him every day, became accustomed to the disease.
